Truck Suvidha, an online marketplace for transporters, was adjudged as the “Marketing Pioneer” at the Conquest 2015 (eleventh edition) which was started by a group of enterprising students to enable the most innovative start-ups network with potential investors. The finale round held at New Delhi, on 6th Sept.

Fifty start-ups were shortlisted from 1400 registrations after a month-long period of evolution. These 50 got mentors from leading start-ups, who advise them on further fine-tuning their business models. The top ten finalists were then selected by the jury members to be part of the finale.

The pitching sessions by start-ups were followed by an interaction of investors with start-up founders, who wanted to know when should a start-up approach investors for money, if it was okay to focus on profits and raise money at a later stage. The investors said start-ups should approach friends and family, seed and angel investors before going to a venture capital firm. This session was followed by two panel discussions between VCs, founders, accelerators and incubators. The event culminated with the announcement of the winners for Conquest 2015.
